Lance, napping

I know, shocking to find a photo of a cat napping!  They can be so difficult to find like this!  :-)  Lance is a funny fellow.  I think he's imprinted on the dogs.

Rainbow

When we visited our son in Hawaii, we were amazed to see a rainbow just about every day.  That's not so common here.  This one, like most I see, is an afternoon shower.  The sun needs to be behind one in order to see a rainbow in front.  This direction is looking roughly northeast, which 'works' as far as the mechanics of rainbows go.  It needs to be sunny behind, and a bit rainy in front.  Since our weather usually progresses from west to east, and the sun is low in the west in the afternoon, when I see a rainbow, it's usually in the afternoon.  I'm such a science nerd but still, they are beautiful things to behold.

Monarch butterfly

I cropped this one to enhance the butterfly among the grape leaves.  It's amazing to think that this fragile looking creature flew all the way from Mexico, but they do it.

Theme Day - Numbers

Each month, on the first, the City Daily Photo bloggers show a photo that illustrates a particular theme.  This month, the theme is Numbers.

This photo was taken downtown, near City Hall.  There are a lot of numbers  visible in this frame.  Address numbers, phone numbers and even a sign indicating a low bridge is ahead!

Our City Daily Photo portal is still down, but visit our Facebook page to see all the wonderful photos from around the world!
